My Students

My students are hungry, not only for food and recess but to learn and excel. Students need the proper tools to help them succeed. My co-teacher and I work in an integrated co-teaching classroom with students from all backgrounds and with various disabilities.

Our students are diverse learners and are very engaged in learning.

They are so excited to come to school and excited for all the new learning opportunities. As educators it is our goal to nourish and help provide our students with all the proper tools and love they need to succeed.

My Project

These magnetic sentence strips and easel will allow us to go over work on the board and the step by step process in solving many of these problems. It will also allow the students to come up and write on the wipe board and get excited to participate as most students look forward to opportunities like these.

This project will make a difference because it will put a HUGE smile on all of my students' faces.

This is America's future and they are already bright and shining stars. Please help us nurture and fulfill their excitement for school by getting materials that will help and make school more enjoyable for them!
